Love how the environmentalists don't seem to give a fig when Houthis poison the seas by blasting holes in oil tankers or when Hezbullah burns down acres of Israel's forested north.

Glad to see this reference to the Crimson. Yes, it's good that social media is making accessible obtuse statements like this one you cite. I've said this before, and will again, it is also pathetic that the Crimson shut down its comments section sometime shortly after October 7, after a vibrant exchange of solid criticism (Ira Stoll's contributions were excellent) had apparently become too hot to handle for the Crimson editors. I miss that greatly and wish there were some ongoing substitute for it, a sort of "Crimson Watch" site with running commentary on its often very bad editorializing.

The Editors seems like the best NYT-watch and Crimson-watch site.

Well, yes, but The Editors has a wide focus on many things. The Crimson is a target-rich environment, and I do think a site dedicated to daily or weekly analyses of its stories and editorial comments, one that the Harvard community was aware of, would be useful.

More headline editorializing from the Nation's Foremost College Newspaper.

It is worth pointing out that by election day in 2020, many of the store windows in major cities were boarded up. Once it became clear that Biden would be declared the winner, the boards came down. That tells you what was expected to happen if Trump was re-elected.
